Furniture care and protection specialist Castelan Group has made two significant appointments to further strengthen its sales team, welcoming Paul Jennings to the role of head of sales (North) and Richard Oloyede as head of sales (South).
Both boast significant industry experience, having spent over eight years at Guardsman UK – Paul as head of sales and development, and Richard as head of sales and key partnerships.
Paul Owen, director of business development at Castelan, says: “It’s great to welcome Paul and Richard to the team here at Castelan. With their strong experience and expertise in this industry, we can only go from strength to strength as they join our existing sales and business development colleagues delivering excellent support to our partners.”
Paul comments: “Having spent eight years at Guardsman (most recently as head of sales and development UK and Europe), I am excited to join Castelan as head of sales (North) and looking forward to the new challenge ahead. I have been inspired by the leadership’s vision, the team’s energy, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact from day one.”
Richard says: “I’m thrilled to be starting a new chapter with Castelan, one that aligns closely with how I believe great companies succeed, through culture, innovation and a commitment to doing things the right way. From my first interactions, it was clear that Castelan is a place where people are empowered to think differently, act decisively and focus on solutions rather than barriers. It’s a business that embraces change, encourages fresh thinking, and backs its people to make things happen.
"Equally important to me is the company’s genuine focus on relationships, and with sights set on growth, new partnerships and a clear vision for the future, there’s a real sense of momentum here. I’m excited to be a part of the future.”
